For about 20 years, says the Goderich
Star, there hes {teen agitation and talk
of securing an extension of the Cana-
dian Pacific railway to Goderich. '.l'he
time lute about arrived for action. Tho
company hes moved in the matter, and
Mr. Hugh D. Lunsden, C.E., was in
town during the early part of the week
looking over the ground. He left Gode-
rich for Lucknow, Wingham, and other
points. He came by vehicle and left in
the same way, so that the lay of the
country and route might be well deter-
mined. While here Mr. Lmtsden was
not talkative, but the Star learned that
the C.P.R. has Goderich on its list as a
terminal, and that there is some hesi-
tancy as to whether the road will be
continued to hero from Winghanl or
Guelph Junetion. An erten.fon of the
C.P.R.. to Goderich its what we want.
Then must follow nib/ elevators and
the C.P.R. line of ateanlere, which will
materially assist hi making the county
seat a emend Owen Sound, It has been
Understood that there was a compact
lwtween the C.P.R. and the Grand
Trunk, that, the latter would not invade
the great Northwest, end that the for-
tner would not encroach on Ontario„but
since the Grand 'Trunk Nellie ]las as-
sumed definite proposals, the C.P.R. is
at full liberty to conte into Ontario end
secure the great carrying trade ewail-
ing it. We notice by the London (Eng-
land) Daily Mail of June 23rd, that
experts say, in connection with the
content for traffic between these two
powerful corporations, that the Cana-
dian Pacific will he "driven to create
its own lines to Grand Trunk points in
Ontario. and the termination of the for-
mer compact. whereby in consideration
of the Grand Trunk reirainieg from
invading the Northwest, the Canadian
P*toific refrained from invading Ontario.
Thi* would leave the Canadian Pacific
free to enter the Grand Trunk country
in Ontario. While Canada is overflow-
ing with prosperity this will perhaps
not matter much, but when the setback
tames that both companies will inevit-
ably suffer is evident.”

The minister of agriculture has again
authorised the Ontario agricultural col-
lege to give demonstrations in mustard
spraying
The demonatrationa given in many
parts of the province in 1901 and 1902
were uniformly euccesaful in the destruc-
tion of growing wild mustard plants in
growing (wrest crops; and it is believed
that the blue -stone treatment of meetard
wi11 be welcomed by hundreds of farmers
throughout Ontario.
How the blue -atone is applied :—Place
an ordinary spray pump, such as is
used for the spraying of fruit trees, on a
cart or light wagon; drive along slowly
through the field applying the solution
to the mustard planta in the forth of a
fine spray. When the field is badly in•
footed, it is advisable to spray the crop
al strips in order that uo mustard plants
escape the spray.
How the blue -atone solution i* made :—
Put nine pounds of blue -moue (copper
eulphate)in a coarse sack or bag, aid
suspend it in a vessel containing throe
gallons of very hot or boiling water.
The blue -stone will usually dissolve in
lip or 20 minutes. Strain the solution
into the barrel of the spray-minip, and
fill cp with void water to make 40 or 96
gallons. This is known as the two per
tient. solution (one pound of bine-stone
in five gallons of tenter,)
When to spray the mustard plants:_
Spray the mustard on a calm, bright
(1sy, just as the plants are coating into
bloom. at thin tiuoo most of tale young
plants have made their appearance, and
all will be killed. should a heavy rain
come immediately after spraying, it will
be l,ecessary to spray again.
The cost of the solution :—Commercial
blue -stone or blue vitriol costs at the
drug stere about nine or 10 cents per
pound. A barrel of the solution will
therefore cost about 80 or 00 cents.
Roy attach le required to spray an
acre thoroughly? A. barrel of the solu-
tion is sufficient for an acre, Successful
results are obtained when the spraying
is done thoroughly,
Are the crops in which mustard is
growing hurt by the spray? Experience
show* that the young wheat, barley,
oats or Voting clover plants are not in-
jured beyond a slight browning for a
fete days by the blue -stone spray,
Where further information may be
obtained:—Should you desire further
information regarding the treatment of
mustard with blue -stone solution write
to the biological department of the On-
tario agricultural college, Guelph.
Sports and Pastimes.
The longest baseball game of the year
was played ou'1'hursday last in Chicago
between the New York and Chicago
club» of the American league, The
teams battled for 18 innings, the life-
time of two regular games, and were
then forced to discontinue playing be-
came of darkness. Runs came rather
freely during the early part of the game,
and the visitors from New York just
managed to tie the score in the ninth
'induce, when they gored two runs.
After that neither teats could get a man
acres the plate. This extraordinarily
long game will serve to lend renewed
interest in these teams, eepecialiy in
• ands a city as Chicago, where IL talo.*
York and Pittsburg play beseba I at
New York otl Saturday lag, Pittsburg
won by a score o(4 to 2.
A baseball teasel) was played 011 the
Agricultural park on Friday evening
between the Regulars and Volunteers
of tlte.Blyth baseball club. The 00000
was 10 to 1 in favor of the Regulars.
Seaforth and Berlin played a senior
pante of football in Berlin on Friday
evening, resniting in victory for the
vi Ore by scare of 1 to 0. During the
first half neither sides sewed, though
honors were in favor of Seaforth their
combination being euperior to that of
Berlin. Both teams showed up a little
better in the eocond half, Seaforth again
ehowinti superiority to Berlin in all
round� p1lay.
St. Alarye and Seaforth played an In-
termediate lacrosse match at St, Allays
on \\'cdnesbay last, resulting in a V1r-
tory for the home tenon by a score of 7
to 4, Though the grounds were ir, a
very unfavorable condition on account
of the eottinued rains for several days,
and the game was mostly played through
a drenching rain, it was one of the fast-
est and cleanest exhibitions of lacrosse
ever seen in St. Marys. Air. It. M. Mc-
Kay, of Blyth, was Wilt of the Seaforth
home playere. •
The uncertainties of baseball make it
the most interesting of all games. A
couple of weeks ago the Jersey City
team were so far ahead in the Eastern
league championship race that it Seem-
ed a hopeless task for any other club to
overcome the advantage. Today the
same 000.111 is fighting hard for second
place, with lrr0specte of soon being
ousted by the Toronto team, last year's
champions, who, at the present time.
are playing. by long odds, the best base-
ball of any team in the league.
SOOT BLOW TO CORPORATIONS,
The Court of Appeal Upholds the Mont.
rl polities of Ontario in Taxing Plants
of Franchise Vo.npanlee.
Tho notch -disputed question which
arose under the act paved by the pro-
vincial Legislature in the session of 11101
regarding the assessment of a large
portion of the plants of various tram
chine -holding companion, was disposed
of on Alonday by a judgment handed
out by the court of appeal. Under the
decision, the companies cannot escape
the taxation which they sought, and the
municipalities who are interested scored
a signal victory.
It is the old act'ap iron case. When
it was discovered a few years ago that
the rails, poles, wires, etc„ of a railway
or lighting company could be stemmed
only at their value as scrap iron, under
the law that had for many y'0are been
nn the statute book, a new act was in-
troduced by the provincial attor0ey-
general `.0 do away with this condition
of affairs, which was admitted pretty
generally except by the companies them-
selves to be an injustice, With that
end in view the act of 1901 was passed.
The companies thought they saw a
loophole m it, and immediately set
about to again e*cape taxation if they
could. Their claim wag that the act
did not meet the case, and that under it
a large portion of the plants could be
assessed only as personalty. '1'hie view
wee widely eanvesaed, and the provin-
cial government came in for a great
deal of criticism, the charge being that
it was in league with the corporations,
stud that a deceptive act had been
Teased.
The case went before several different
county court judges and hoard* of as-
sessment. 'Five cag0a reached the court
of appeal, and were dealt with on Mon-
day an follows;
Toronto Railway Company v. City of
Toronto.
Toronto Electric Light Company v.
City of Toronto,
Toronto Incandescent Light Company
v. City of Toronto.
Ottawa Electric Light Company v.
City of Ottawa,
Ottawa Gas Company v. City of Ot-
tawa.
to
'Piappeals in each case wore made
by the companies, judgment being pre-
viously given against them. Theilo-
ment on Afnnday will governall similar
cases in the province.
Chief deettoe Moss, in announcing the
decision, said; "Under a sub -section of
a recent act of the legislature, 11 was
held that the companies involved soul;]
claim certain exemptions. The judges
before when the cases were tried held
otherwise, end we agree with the con-
struction placed upon the sot by those
judges. We think that under a proper
construction of the act, which is not
easy to construe, the claim; of the
companies are not sepported, and that
the plants are assessable as held by the
municipalities. Accordingly the ap-
peals are all dismissed, The cross-ap-
peals put in by the city of Ottawa are
also dismissed."
The decision hal the concurrence of
the full court, including Justices Mac-
lennan, Osler, Carrow, and Maclaren.
In the case of Toronto, the assessment
which the railway company and the
two lighting companies, which are prac-
tically one, sea ri t to °see re, amounted
to approximately half a million dollars.
This means a taxation of about $t0,000
9 year.
